Saudi Arabia’s Khalid bin Salman meeting top US officials

Brother to Saudi Crown Prince MBS is in Washington, just months after damning US intelligence report on Jamal Khashoggi’s killing.

Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Defence Minister Khalid bin Salman is meeting with top Biden administration officials in the United States, just months after a US intelligence report linked his brother, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Khalid bin Salman is expected to meet with Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan, as well as with US State and Defense Department officials, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Tuesday. “They’ll discuss the longstanding partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia, regional security and the US commitment to help Saudi Arabia defend its territory,” Psaki told reporters, adding that the murder of Khashoggi would also likely come up.
